The only issue would be shelf life,
I thought those things have a pretty long shelf life? Of course it all depends on the temperature, the warmer the temp, the less shelf life they have.
I just googled.. The shelf life is about 5 years stored at 75 degrees.

My kids eat 2 a day
His kids haven't shite since 2015.
I usually keep about 2 cases (24 meals) just because hurricanes.
When they start going bad, I plan on making a pillow fort, eating the MREs and pretending I'm camping.

I have eaten a couple when I have tent camped. Not bad for what they are. I think I still have a couple in my pantry.

I acquired 10 boxes of them a few years ago. Haven't eaten a single one and probably won't. I keep them for emergencies but I'm just going to end up throwing them out.

Pretty damn expensive to stockpile
Yea I thought about buying some in bulk because I'm single and don't like to cook much and figured they'd be cheap and easy for quick lunches. After seeing the cost I concluded I just eat out for the same price or suck it up and cook meals for cheaper

A lot of OTR truckers c army a couple MREs in their truck, especially in the winter. They can easily get stranded in BFE for a few days because of icy roads. I-80 across Wyoming is well known for shutting down in the winter.

They went to shite (not literally) when they stopped adding the baby bottles of Tabasco in them.

I hate the shelf-stable bread. I'd rather they just went back to putting crackers into all of them.

Unless your attic is conditioned, that would be horrible conditions to store them. I wouldn't eat them if I were you.
Actually I had forgotten about them until this thread. Guess I’ll just give them as Christmas presents this year to get rid of them.

They were designed for combat, id rather have a brick to crap than loose stool in combat anyway.
A couple years for Mardi Gras we'd start the long weekend by eating the cheese and/or peanut butter because of the slowdown effect on bathroom issues.
Worked out well, errr, effectively.

Where the hell can you buy MREs? Costco sells prepper buckets but the aren’t self heating.

I work for a company that build the machine used for giving them shelf life and we have customers that make them. So somebody buys them.
